  • Episode 25: "Reclaiming" (with special guest, Rohadi Nagassar)

    We need belonging to survive and thrive. ~ing Producer, Ben Wideman, sits down with author/speaker/pastor, Rohadi Nagassar, to talk about how we might find a path toward reclaiming a place of belonging. Sometimes it can feel easier to walk away from faith completely. But Rohadi believes there is another way. We'll explore themes from his brand new book, When We Belong: Reclaiming Christianity on the Margins (available now from Herald Press!). When it feels as though there’s no place left to belong, Jesus invites us into a love that knows no bounds and a community that truly liberates.

  • Episode 22: "Siding" (with special guest, Jonny Rashid)
    In today's episode, ~ing producer Ben Wideman is joined by pastor and Herald Press author, Jonny Rashid. Many Christians have upheld a “third way” approach in pursuit of moderation, harmony, and unity. But as Christians become more concerned with divisiveness than with faithfulness, perhaps we have failed to grasp the gospel’s political demands. In this episode we will discuss how to navigate a world divided by left and right, red and blue, and what Jesus proposed instead of finding a “third way” between oppressor and oppressed. For more on this subject, check out Jonny's book, Jesus Takes a Side: Embracing the Political Demands of the Gospel.
